Capo: 8
Tuning: E A D G B E
So I made this because I thought the first version on here was kinda off.
This works quite well without the capo, but if you want to play along the original record you'll need one
on the 8th fret. Have fun!
[Verse 1]
Maybe I Amlisten more than you Dthink
I can Emtell that somebody Dsold you
We said we’ve Amnever let anyone Din
We said we’d Emonly die of Dlonely secrets
[Chorus]
CThe system Donly dreams in toGtal darkness
Why are you Amhiding from me?
CWe’re in a Ddifferent kind of Gthing now
All night you’re Amtalking to God
[Verse 2]
I thought that Amthis would all work Dout after a while
Now you’re Emsaying that I’m asking for Dtoo much attention
Also no Amother faith is light eDnough for this place
We Emsaid we’d only die of Dlonely secrets
[Chorus]
CThe system Donly dreams in toGtal darkness
Why are you Amhiding from me?
CWe’re in a Ddifferent kind of Gthing now
All night you’re Amtalking to God
[Bridge]
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
[Chorus]
CThe system Donly dreams in toGtal darkness
Why are you Amhiding from me?
CWe’re in a Ddifferent kind of Gthing now
All night you’re Amtalking to God
[Outro]
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
CI cannot exDplain it
GAny other, Amany other way
